Bradley J. Bell

Bradley J. Bell, listed as board member, has filed trades across 5 companies (mainly through SEC (Form 4)), most often in Compass Minerals International Inc, Nalco Holding Co and IDEX Corp /DE/. Between 3 January 2006 and 27 April 2022, the trades on record add up to 178 filings.

In open-market terms, that means 3 purchases worth €257k on one side and 32 sales worth €9.9M on the other. Taken together, the sales exceed the purchases by €9.6M. A purchase on the market is a deliberate choice to commit personal money, which is why it draws more attention than a grant. Outside the open market, there are 131 share grants and 5 option exercises.

The median purchase comes to €84k. Of 3 purchases, 2 formed part of a group of insiders buying within 30 days of each other. A cluster is several different insiders buying the same stock within a short window, a pattern studied more closely than a single purchase. After 3 purchases with a full 90-day history, the hit rate stands at 33% and the median 90-day move at -3.2%. These figures describe past trades and do not predict future prices.

On 29 April 2022 came the latest disclosure, a share grant in Chemours Co. The latest purchase dates back some time: it was published 2,651 days ago, on 6 August 2019. Between a trade and the moment it shows up on SEC (Form 4), the median delay is 2 days. Section 16 rules allow two business days to file each Form 4. Keep in mind that insiders sell for many reasons unrelated to the outlook, from tax bills to estate planning. Every figure here comes from the filings published by SEC (Form 4) and describes the past, not future prices; it is not investment advice.
